[They are] reclining on beds whose linings are of silk brocade, and the fruit of the two gardens is near. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ In them are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinn ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ As if they were rubies and coral. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Is the reward for good [anything] but good? ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ And below them both [in rank] are two [other] gardens ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Dark green [in color]. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ In both of them are two springs, spouting forth. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ In both of them are fruit and palm trees and pomegranates. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ In them are good and beautiful women ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Fair ones restrained in pavilions ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Untouched before them by man or jinn ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets. ❁ So which of the favors of your Lord will you two deny? ❁ Blessed is the name of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.}1

(433) He said—exalted be his glory: "[Deny] which of the two favors: the Veil or the Gate."

(434) It was related from another aspect from our Master al-Sadiq—exalted be his glory—that he said: "And not by any of Your favors, O Ali," when this verse was recited before him.
